A neuron is a cell with many branches that attach on to others. Short receiving branches are known as dendrites, long transmitting branches are known as axons. This means that axons and dendrites connect with one another. Chemical fluctuations caused by positively charged ions (Na+ (sodium) and K+ (potassium) cause a phenomenon known as an action potential, which is how the neurons transmit information. Where the axon and dendrite meets is known as a synapse, and the space between the two is known as the synaptic cleft. The action potential, which is a shift in electrochemical charge, travels down the axon and upon reaching the synapse stimulates the production of some neurotransmitter.

A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?
electrical
What is the basic function of a neuron?
A neuron is an electrically excitable cell, that transmits signals (after processing) to another neuron or tissue. It sends out information to the brain.
What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
Functional connection between two neurons is a?
functional connection between two neurons is the transmission of electrical signals from one neuron to another through a synapse. When an electrical impulse reaches the axon terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron, allowing the electrical signal to be transmitted and continue the communication between neurons.
What is a description of the generalized function of an axon?
If you mean the part of a neuron, then an axon transmits the signal created by the nucleus to another neuron. Myelin, the coating around the axon, helps make this process faster.
Where does a neuron transmits it signals?
synapse
What does a neuron transmits signals from its what?
A neuron transmits signals from its cell body, where the nucleus is located, to other neurons or target cells through its axon. The axon carries the electrical impulses away from the cell body towards the synapse, where communication with other cells occurs.
A neuron transmits a nerve impulse as a wave of?
electrical
A motor neuron transmits signals to?
Muscle fibers
What is a neuron that transmits a nerve impulse toward the central nervous system is called what?
A sensory neuron transmits a nerve impulse towards the central nervous system. These nerve cells activated by input, transmits sensory information.
What is the nerve fiber that extends from a neuron and transmits electical impulses from that neuron to the dendrites of other neurons?
The axon
What is the basic function of a neuron?
A neuron is an electrically excitable cell, that transmits signals (after processing) to another neuron or tissue. It sends out information to the brain.
What is the term for the neuron that transmits sensory information into the nervous system?
love
What is the name of a neuron that transmits a neural impulse from the central nervous system through the spinal cord to a muscle?
The neuron that transmits a signal from the nervous system to an effector is a motor neuron.

What is the name of a neuron that transmits neural impulse from the sensory neuron to the motor neuron?
A relay neurone passes impulses from a sensory neurone to a motor neurone.
